We stayed at site #4 and the site was very large and had direct access to Chicago Lake. The lot we were on was right next to the boat launch so there were people in and out daily but it was never enough people to bother us. The one thing I have to say that annoyed my family the most was the biting flies and the mosquitos. Really not a reason to complain since we’re camping and all, but they were BAD. I can honestly say that I don’t think I would go back to this area because the bugs were that bad. My kids have bite marks all over and the dogs weren’t any better. Bug spray didn’t work and the flies are not phased by almost anything. The only thing that makes them go away is killing them....1 down, 500 million to go.

Back to the site itself - it was very spacious and definitely felt like you were in the middle of no where and away from the city (you certainly are!) The site had plenty of grass but for about a 20ft radius of the bonfire pit was pure sand/soot...very messy when it got wet.

Getting to the site was a chore in and of itself - there are no signs from the main road and it doesn’t help there is no cell service to look up a map of the sites. We randomly turned down a 1 lane dirt path with a 26ft trailer and ended up taking a 1 mile off road adventure to eventually get to the site.

Nearest store that I found was all the way back on US-2 called Foxys Den and it’s a good 25min ride from the site. My fault for not grabbing ice at the last gas fill up. Not using this point as a negative against the site, just advising what I discovered.

Overall it was a nice getaway from the city life from down in the LP but the bugs up there are terrible.
